Elizabeth Olsen Addresses Samuel L. Jackson's 'Scarlet Witch' Claims; Hints At NYCC Appearance
Are Marvel Studios planning on bringing out the new cast members of The Avengers: Age of Ultron at the New York Comic Con as they did in San Diego? Well, while she plays coy about Samuel L. Jackson's recent comments, Elizabeth Olsen hints at an appearance at the event this weekend!
A week after Samuel L. Jackson appeared to confirm that Elizabeth Olsen will indeed be playing 'Scarlet Witch' in The Avengers: Age of Ultron, his Oldboy co-star has spoken out about those comments. "Samuel Jackson can say what he likes," the actress grinned when quizzed on the subject during a recent appearance on Friday's Live With Kelly & Michael. When asked if she will be making an appearance at this weekend's New York Comic Con, Olsen replied, "Actually, my brother works for a comic book, so you might. Because I might be visiting his booth." Could it be that we'll FINALLY get confirmation thanks to an appearance from the Godzilla star at one of Marvel's panels this weekend? Either way, several reliable trades have since claimed that Olsen is indeed the frontrunner for the role, so expect for it to be made official sooner rather than later!
